  1. Re:Use of force? on Entering the Age of Body-Worn Police Cameras (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What a coincidence! It's not the first reaction of the cops here either in the vast majority of cases.

    Doesn't have to be friends even, could be the local wildlife seeing you doing too much talking. If you live in gang country that could reasonably end up going poorly for you.

    So what you're saying is that throughout the rest of the world no cops ever have to tackle a criminal and pin them while they get their cuffs on? Must be nice living in a fantasyland.

    Yep. It's perfectly fine to harass and doxx people who disagree with you, but only if you're part of the hugbox.

    You might want to go back to the beginning and get your information from a different source. The most popular narrative of events isn't necessarily the truth.

    Yes, but you appear to not be an idiot. Most end-users are idiots.

  15. Re:"Just a Flesh Wound" on Researchers Are Developing Cure for Human Pain (neurosciencenews.com) · · Score: 2

    The best part about nerve damage is that it's not even really relevant. Pain is supposed to tell you about something broken in your body, but nerve damage means you have pain just because!

    Yes...and? They're not proposing permanent treatments I don't think, just providing relief for people with unendingly painful conditions. And even if they are there's people who would certainly want to give up pain. I know someone who's largely non-functional because of chronic pain due to nerve damage. Her quality of life is terrible because of that, I'm sure it's worth the risk to her to be able to actually use both of her arms.

    Yes? It's hardly the first time people have gotten away with selling fake shit, not even the first time they've gotten away with selling fake things to the government.

    This is also the company that re-wrote an OS almost from scratch to focus on security. The whole reason Vista took so long is because they basically restarted when it was almost done to focus on security. That probably cost them an enormous amount of money.
